Paying your fees
Your tuition fee is calculated based on your study profile. Once a profile is created it will generate an associated fee. There are a range of options available for payment of fees.
Tuition fee loans
If you're a UK student, you can apply for a tuition fee loan to cover your university tuition fees. It's your responsibility to apply for funding and you'll need to check if both you and your course are eligible. Loans are available at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
If you have accessed a student loan before, this might affect new applications. If you can't get a student loan then you'll be expected to pay fees directly to us.
Self funding study
If you're paying your own fees there different payment options available to you. This will depend on your course and your nationality.
Makes sure you keep your contact information like your address, phone number and email up to date on MyUCLan.
Letters of sponsorship
If your employer or sponsor is paying your tuition fees you will need to email a letter from them with details of where to send the invoice. This letter should include your university registration number, which usually starts with G.
Please include any purchase order number or other relevant reference. Your employer or sponsor will be expected to pay when they receive the invoice.
Employer or sponsor letters should be emailed to the Student Fees and Funding Team. If a sponsor letter is not received before billing begins, you (the student) will receive an invoice directly in the first instance.
Make a payment
Payments should be made to the University in the following ways:
All UK bank transfers are to be made using the Flywire secure portal. Please select GBP as your currency.
All UK card payments must be paid using the online payment facility.
When making a payment please quote your student registration number. This usually is an eight digit number starting with the letter G. It can be found on your ID card, offer letter, or invoice.
If you are an international student making a payment by bank transfer or card, please use the Flywire secure portal to make a payment.
